This book is the second in a trilogy that commenced with The Pain Games. At the Pain Games, no-one gets killed, no-one dies, but plenty of people are on the receiving end of corporal punishment. It is three months after two sisters, Anastasia and Felicia, took part in the Pain Games. The formidable Ms Goldthorpe still holds Anastasia captive and suggests she may be released and allowed to return home on condition that the two sisters agree to provide further entertainment for the public. The resulting entertainment is called 'Whipping Girl' and it involves the girls in various role play scenarios wearing outfits ranging from nurses and maids uniforms, to sailor suits and prison garb. Ingeniously painful punishments are inflicted. In addition to hand and hairbrush spankings, the sisters and their friends endure a taste of the strap, tawse, cane and birch. The final punishment scenario involves two miscreants being secured and lashed over the gun barrel on board a ship. But the worse thing of all is that Ms Goldthorpe does not intend to keep her promise and allow the girls to go home...
